Researcher:

Dr. Aviva Weinberg is a urologic surgeon and classically trained visual artist whose work explores the intersection of medicine, identity, and narrative. At Kaiser Permanente, she leads initiatives in men and women’s urologic health, physician communication, and process improvement. Her portrait series (included in this exhibit) Faces–Unmasked emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, when masks and isolation fractured our most basic human connection: the ability to see each other’s faces. She painted 100 portraits as acts of restoration—each one an attempt to unveil the emotion, identity, and inner life obscured by fabric and fear.
